AERFWXCV are all around the ZQSD keys, meaning I can keep strafing(moving) while pressing the buttons. If I went with 567 etc. I'd have to take my hand off the movement and waste time. This way I essentially never have to stand still, or at the very least, can instantly react and move without needing to put my hand back in place.

Essentially, all my gameplay happens in a square-shaped pattern on my keyboard. I also use TAB and SHIFT+TAB to target enemies, for example.
